Around a month ago a potentially very dividing discussion shortly flared up in the Danish Old School community. The discussion was about the very sensitive topic of how we feel the access to tournaments should be: always open or sometimes invite only? The backdrop for the discussion was the fact that one of the bigger […]
Today I have a day off from work. It was needed. Not only has work been a little crazy the last couple of weeks, I have also been a little off my game and have been coughing like I was paid to do it. Oh, right, I also went on a crazy weekend to the […]
You know how sometimes it is refreshing to get out of your comfort zone? How it is sometimes even life-altering or at least horizon-expanding? I must have heard someone utter something along those lines a couple of months back, when I once again decided to join a team Canadian Highlander tournament with my fellow Canlander […]
Apparently it is getting harder to come up with adequate, reasonably meaningful titles to these posts. Anyway. We are here for a Mailday post. The first one since May, even. It is not because I haven’t bought any cards since then. Actually I have bought quite some. But mailday posts are mostly for my own […]
After some long days at work, I want to write just a few short words on a project I am working on. And luckily, I have the perfect one in the furnaces: for the last couple of months I have been contemplating on, theorizing, designing and finally started building a 450-card Premodern draft cube!

A machine is what. I am building a machine. Great. With that awesome intro, complete with references to music I should listen much more to out of the way, let’s dive right into it. It’s been a while since the last update here, and that is even despite the fact, that I have had a […]
It seems to be impossible to find an evening where at least three of my team mates are able to meet up with me to play some decent, old school face-to-face Magic in these summer times. And it is not because the summer weather here in Denmark should make you feel bad for being inside. […]
Today it is time for something new on these parts. A single card discussion. A SCD. I haven’t exactly done one of these before, even though I have been talking at some length about a string of different cards, I feel should see more play in our beloved format. This is exactly one of those […]
As I mentioned the other day there is at least one more story I want to tell from the latest iteration of the great – nay legendary – tournament series At the Mountains of Madness on the Jutland ridge. But this one has nothing to do with my performance, the deck I played, my teammates […]
